Looking at Ei's back in front of her, Miko couldn't help but feel a hint of nervousness.
However, just as she was feeling a bit tense, Wendy had already walked past her, heading towards where Ei was standing.
Sigh...
How am I supposed to chime in when the time comes?
And I feel like I'm going to get scolded...
Continuing to watch Wendy's figure walking forward, this problem suddenly occurred to Miko.
If Wendy said the wrong thing, and she tried to forcibly interject, she would likely be suspected by Ei and definitely get scolded.
But if it was just being scolded, that would be fine...
Thinking this, Miko followed along.
"I heard from that little fox behind me that you were looking for me?"
Miko: "???"
Walking along, suddenly hearing Wendy speak like this in front of her, Miko felt a bit like hitting someone.
But there was no helping it; the only verbal counterattack she could use here was unusable.
After all, if she really made a verbal retort, Ei could make her shut up without Wendy even needing to say anything.
Damn brat...
Arriving behind Ei without a change in expression, Miko silently cursed Wendy in her heart.
Right now, this was all she could do. Plus, there were more important matters at hand, so she couldn't cause trouble.
Of course, she noted this grudge down.
"Yes, Lord Anemo Archon." Looking at Wendy, Ei slowly nodded.
Although She initially thought only She and the Anemo Archon would be conversing, it didn't matter that Miko was here; She still trusted her.
Then Ei continued, "Actually, I just wanted to ask a question, which is about that young man's origins and the people around him."
"Does that include me?" Ei had barely finished speaking when Wendy immediately followed up with this.
Ei: "..."
Ei clearly hadn't expected such words from Wendy.
However, She quickly replied, "Lord Anemo Archon, I naturally understand you. It is only that young man whom I really..."
"Sigh, actually, before you ask me this question, you should understand another matter." Before Ei could finish, Wendy suddenly sighed and spoke.
It had to be said, Miko, standing behind Ei, was startled by this scene.
She hadn't expected Wendy to be so good at acting.
Originally, she was still thinking about how Wendy would guide the topic to the Visions, but it turned out Wendy accomplished it quite well.
Now it was very obvious: Wendy was preparing to talk about the Visions and Mei.
"Another matter?" Stunned for a moment, Ei hadn't expected the Anemo Archon to say something like this.
This 'another matter'...
What exactly does it refer to?
Looking at the Anemo Archon, Ei couldn't help but feel very curious.
Obviously, this other matter must be very important.
Otherwise, the Anemo Archon wouldn't have spoken like this.
"Yes, another matter. Do you want to hear about it? I think you will definitely be very interested." Looking at the visibly surprised Ei, Wendy nodded.
This girl...
I actually didn't realize she could act so well...
Continuing to watch Wendy communicating with Ei from behind, Miko became increasingly satisfied with Wendy's performance.
To be honest, she had never felt that Wendy could pull this off.
Sigh...
It seems Kaito really understands this little girl...
But that makes sense...
They must have been together for a long time...
Anyway, longer than me...
Sigh...
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have followed them here...
Thinking and thinking, Miko began to regret coming along.
After all, looking at it now, Wendy was sufficient on her own; she wasn't needed on the side at all.
If she had known this earlier, she would have stayed at the shrine to drink tea with Kaito and await Wendy's good news.
"Then please speak." Without thinking much, Ei nodded.
Since it was a matter the Anemo Archon wanted to discuss, She naturally had to listen, not to mention it was something related to Her.
"The Visions you confiscated are gone, right?" Under the gaze of Miko and Ei, Wendy first said this.
And the moment she said this, Ei was visibly shocked.
Clearly, She hadn't thought the matter Wendy wanted to discuss would be related to the stolen Visions.
At this moment, Wendy continued, "The night the Visions were stolen, I actually happened to be right there."
"Then who did you see? Who stole the Visions?" Since the conversation had reached this point, Ei understood clearly, so She couldn't wait to ask this question.
That's not stealing...
Kaito and I were just temporarily borrowing them...
Borrowing!
Just as Ei asked that question, Miko behind Her silently said this in her heart.
Of course, she definitely wouldn't say it out loud; if she did, she would be done for.
"I saw you!"
Ei: "???"
Under her own expectant gaze, Ei actually heard such an absurd answer.
Is the Anemo Archon making fun of Me?
Because Ei still had an impression of the Anemo Archon's free-spirited personality, She immediately thought this after hearing Her answer.
But would the Anemo Archon really make such a joke?
Ei couldn't be certain about this question.
But even so, She still had to ask about the situation.
"I do not know what Lord Anemo Archon means? Are you suspecting that I staged this Myself?" Ei hoped Wendy could give Her an explanation.
Although They were both members of the Seven Archons, making such a joke was still inappropriate.
"Of course not." Smiling, Wendy shook her head to deny it.
Oh my...
How is this little girl so good at this...
How come I never saw her behave like this before?
Continuing to silently watch Wendy's performance, Miko was also shocked.
She hadn't expected Wendy to be this formidable, no matter how she thought about it.
If she hadn't known the plan in advance, she would definitely be kept in suspense by Wendy right now, just like Ei.
So...
Has Wendy just been playing dumb all this time?
Miko, unable to figure it out after much thought, couldn't help but think this.
"Then what exactly does Lord Anemo Archon mean?" At this point, Ei was truly curious to the extreme; She didn't understand why the Anemo Archon would say this.
"Actually, I saw someone who looks very much like you take away the Visions. At first, I also thought it was you, but later I discovered that it wasn't you." Knowing she couldn't keep being mysterious, Wendy explained her so-called discovery.
"Someone... who looks very much like Me?!" Not expecting such a thing, Ei, whose heartbeat suddenly accelerated, immediately thought of a person.
Only, is it really possible for that person to appear again?
That...
Impossible, right?
"Yes, they looked very much like you. I don't know if it was Her either."
